ZCCM-Ih Dividend Falls by K346 Million

Of the approximately K183 million declared for 2025, the Industrial Development Corporation will receive K110 million, the Ministry of Finance and National Planning K32 million, and the National Pension Scheme Authority K27 million.

The remaining K14 million will be shared among approximately 5,000 other shareholders in Zambia and international markets.

Mr Musonda says the company continued to receive returns from its investments, including Kansanshi, whose royalty payments are based on revenue rather than profit, as well as Mamba Energy, which paid its maiden dividend, and Copperbelt Energy Corporation.

He says ZCCM-IH also repaid 150 million United States dollars to Glencore in April, settling legacy debts linked to the restructuring of Mopani Copper Mines.

The company’s market valuation has also exceeded one billion United States dollars.

Meanwhile, Finance Minister Situmbeko Musokotwane, represented by Permanent Secretary for Economic Management and Investments Mr Mulele Mulele, says Government expects its commercial investments to generate sustainable returns that support public finances and national development.

Mr.Mulele says ZCCM-IH must maintain commercial discipline, expand its investment portfolio and balance shareholder returns with long-term growth.

He says the company has a significant role to play in the Grow Zambia agenda, particularly in increasing copper production to three million tonnes, supporting energy development, promoting local participation and creating jobs.
